Christopher Donovan: I learned a lot in my seven years of living in New York City. It’s got allure for a reason. For bright lights, big adventure and sheer cliffs of challenge, New York is unmatched.
It is also, for a White person, no place to make a home. New York City is essentially a boiling cauldron of competing racial and ethnic groups, all of which scrap and tear for a share of the spoils. The job of the mayor, his chief lawyer once told me, is to figure out “which ethnic group is mad at him that day and how to make them happy again”, or words to that effect. The effect is an atmosphere thick with barely suppressed tension. Every human interaction is fraught, suspicious, and pregnant with explosion. It’s all very bad for the blood pressure.
From the mayor (and that chief lawyer I mentioned) on down, New York is Jewish territory. A few white ethnic groups have some presence, chief among them Irish and Italian (though always as those specific ethnicities, and never just “white”). Blacks and the Hispanic groups loom large. But it has been a long, long time since WASPs like John Lindsay held sway (and power for him meant sucking up to minorities).
If, like me, your heritage is “undifferentiated, but mostly Anglo-Saxon, White”, you are operating in New York without an ethnic safety net. You might find a niche, like Taki, provided you’re mind-bogglingly rich. But even talented ad execs or white-shoe law firm partners are ultimately toiling in the vinyards of a city they’ll never be completely at home in and can barely afford.
The numbers are now official. Whites are a minority in New York as both citizens and voters. None of it points in a good direction for whites living there.
Facing the Future as a Minority
Was the Immigration Act of 1924 Illiberal?
the hostile elite who run this city have been doing everything they can to wipe out the last vestiages of any white ethnic power. The NYPD and FDNY were ‘diversified’ by lowering standards. FDNY fought this for years but finally succumbed when the Feds stepped in. (ALl this was post 9-11 – gratitude?) I wonder when NY has another catastrophe if the firemen will behave the same..or the behavior will become something like New Orleans, where the police fled from duty or actually aided in the looting.
I don’t know how you could stand living there for that long, I avoid ‘Noo Yawk’ like the plague. The alien dominated media manages to keep the image of this racially blighted city all pumped up in the eyes of most clueless Whites, unfortunately. Just look at the gullible Whites crowding around the outdoor fence, just outside the Today Show, genuflecting before the phony “celebrities” (like Lauer, Roker, et al), and hoping to get their mugs in front of the panning cameras, so that their bamboozled friends ‘back home’ can see these juveniles in adult bodies make fools of themselves. It’s all a part of the make-believe-America that most vacuous Anglos hold dear, rarely suspecting that it is rotting from within, or that their racial radar has been deactivated, or artificially suppressed.
Junghans- It is hard to live here, but what remains of WASP culture makes it worth it – for a little while anyway.
It is rather like walking among Roman ruins in, say Libya, knowing the current culture has little or no connection with the past.
The solution, of course, is simple. Those whites who wish to retain their ethne, must devest from society and construct their own parallel society. We must become like every other group, particularly like the Jews. There is no saving a West Caucasian America. Maybe Europe can be saved — if people begin to organize transnationally and pool resources.
Regardless, devesting from America and investing in our ethne means setting up a parallel society; this means ethnic interest lobbies, centers, networks ect. Multicultural America needs to be resisted and mass immigration opposed — while at the same time it must be accepted and our energy, accordingly, reinvested.
Many people seem to have trouble conceptualizing this. Somehow the otherside does not. Multiculturism is argued in the same breath as antiracism. They can do this because they have a unifying theory of ‘whiteness is bad.’ If you want to split the wood, follow the grain.
As we know, ‘Whiteness is bad’ is just the inverse of ‘Whiteness is good’ — which is what we had until the 60′s.
Follow the logic. ‘Whiteness is bad’ needs to be deconstructed. To do this, the ideas of Liberal Multiculturalism need to be turned against itself. After, a unifying logic by which you can accept and oppose multiculturalism needs to be found and a new ‘sense’ then needs to be substituted.
But before anything — ‘Whiteness as bad’ must go. Otherwise, people who are not liberal will just become Libertarian. People who are not antiracial will just become aracial and so on. And we will just continue to slide to the liberal-left.
If the New York City Jews identified themselves as Asians, that would make actual European descended Whites, what, 12%? LOL.
my comments, remember the 911 Firefighter memorial based on the iconic picture of the firefighters raising the flag at Ground Zero? From wiki:
I say that Whites need to build up their own urban ‘Mecca’ in some other American city besides NYC, which is of course dominated by Jews and other ethnic non-White minorities.
I’ve thought lately about which city might serve as a ‘Mecca’ of sorts of the pro-White movement — and I thought that New Orleans might be a good city for that, especially since Katrina hit and caused a lot of the poor and criminal Black riff-raff to flee the city for places like Houston and so on.
It would be very interesting for many Whites to slowly begin colonizing New Orleans or another city and begin taking it back from the corrupt Blacks and others who are soiling it, thus turning it in to a White Mecca of sorts in the USA.

You are exactly right Lesacre — we need to create a parallel society to begin resisting the multiracialism which is being forced upon us; I wrote about this a while back, creating pro-White colonies and so on all around the USA, setting up communities similar to the Mormons, Amish, etc to further the pro-White cause: http://whitesurvival.wordpress.com/2009/11/16/future-opportunities-for-on-the-groundreal-life-pro-white-community-formation/
NY (and the US) have had decades of falling crime despite substantial increases in the proportion of the population that are non whites, explaination please?
“NY (and the US) have had decades of falling crime despite substantial increases in the proportion of the population that are non whites, explaination please?”
Someday, there are several reasons for declining crime rates in the face of rising numbers of crime-prone minorities:
First, criminals are now incarcerated for longer periods of time, meaning they have fewer opportunities to commit crime. In Texas in the late eighties and early nineties, criminals wound up doing one month of time for every year they were sentenced to. So, somebody given twenty years for a serious crime would be turned out on the streets after twenty months or so to commit more crimes. Today in Texas twenty years may still not mean twenty years (i.e., parole), but it doesn’t mean twenty months either. But this means now that the US has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world.
The second reason is an overall decline in the numbers of young males–the most crime-prone group. Interestingly, Steve Sailer has written there was an uptick in crime in states with a high Hispanic population. After the 1986 amnesty, amnestied Mexicans had something of a mini baby boom. Today those children born in the late eighties are just now getting out of their most crime-prone years, and this is reflected in further declines in the crime rate.
The third reason is that jobs have been plentiful. A large number of minorities will be deterred from committing crimes if they can find gainful employment.
The fourth reason is a decline in crack and cocaine use by non-whites. These drugs cause all kinds of violent and paranoid reactions.
The fifth reason is increases in the number of conceal carry permits for firearms. Criminals are bullies, and hence don’t want to pick a fight with people who can fight back.
Response to Matthew Dunnyveg’s sugested reasons for fall in crime:-
1st – U.S. prison population was in declined in 2009, (for the first time in decades) but crime continued to fall.
2nd – The average age of blacks in the US is several years lower than that of whites. Young non whites in NY especially would have had their numbers boosted by high fertility immigrants since the 60′s I think ( I can’t find the figures to compare the number of young blacks now as compared to the 60′s).
3rd – Well the economic downturn has not caused more crime.
4th- Less drug use a cause of less crime; I would say it is part of the trend being a crime in itself. It’s certainly an indication there has been has been some kind of change for the better in black communities while the 60′s rise in crime followed a decline in church attendance among blacks which was a symptom of some kind of deleterious change in black communities. But what caused it?
I wouldn’t believe any claims of a drop in crime. In Los Angeles the same kinds of claims were being made and it turned out officials were simply cooking the books because the latino criminals are out of control. I’d bet it’s the same in NYC.
1. The statistics that show crime is falling are only as good as the people who keep them. There are a lot of ways for the system to incentivize police to underreport crime, and there’s always a lot of pressure to do so. A low official crime rate makes the Chamber of Commerce happy and makes the police chief look effective.
2. Crime is by its nature something that is usually done covertly. Statistics only reflect crimes that are reported to the police. Many crimes are not, especially property crimes.
3. As a society descends into anarchy, as the US arguably is beginning to do, people lose faith in law enforcement and the court system. Victims no longer report crimes, figuring that there is only a small chance that the perpetrator will be caught and punished anyway.
4. Politicians love to be able to brag about falling crime rates, and have an obvious motive for manipulating the statistics.
5. Non-whites, particularly new immigrants, tend to live in ethnic enclaves where reporting of crime to police — snitching — is strongly discouraged. This makes it quite possible to have crime rates exploding on the streets while falling in the stat books.
6. As police departments become filled with non-white Affirmative Action hires, whites become more and more reluctant to report being victimized by non-whites. They fear they may look like a “racist” if they do so, and the typical white person wishes to avoid that at all costs. Case-in-point: http://www.kget.com/mostpopular/story/Bakersfield-Police-Attacker-threatened-baby/hVZyOaYsn0qMdT7qByfdlA.cspx
7. Crime rates may be reduced by the simple expedient of decriminalizing behavior, either formally as a matter of law or de facto. Marijuana offenses, at one time felonies throughout the US, are now only infractions in many states. Because overflowing prisons are breaking state budgets nationwide, crimes that ordinarily would be prosecuted as felonies may get plea-bargained down to misdemeanors, which are not counted in some statistical measures like the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, causing the official crime rate to fall.
Batsson, Progress. I’m sure the true property crime figures are higher, still the
the ones given for NY homicide on GNXP are likely pretty accurateNY homicide over time
log.
A society with more and more non-whites and crime goes down?; not what the readers of this blog would predict.
Someday, I can vouch for the stats in LA being fixed, including murder. No joke. Murders were ignored or categorized in other ways believe it or not. It started to turn into a scandal here in L.A. and then the media dropped it just like that. All types of nefarious methods were used to fudge things. If a crime was on the border of two different police divisions, it was ignored until things were cleared up. Wonder if anyone knows what those things were? If it was a gang killing, it might be ignored while being investigated as self defense(!). All kinds of kid stuff garbage like this was used, besides outright lies in reports to the public and to and by the government. Do not believe any “official” numbers anymore. Whatever they are telling us, it’s worse. In L.A. they tried to tell us crime was at its lowest levels since 1957. Only an idiot could believe that. It has never been worse. You can’t even go certain places in this city at night, as in standard tourist destinations, without at least seeing crimes being committed never mind a good chance of being a victim. Battson is right, the latinos are out of control and so are the blacks here.
Great post, and great comments.
I lived in and around NYC most of my life with the main period being between 1985 to 2000. It was certainly exhilirating and thrilling in many ways and the buzz at times kept me from seeing that I was clearly a part of the group that I have described here and elsewhere as
Exposed Whites. As opposed to Unexposed Whites.
But for the most part it was clear that I had no “safety net” as CD mentioned. And it became clear that all of the trips to the Met (I practically lived there), or the Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll, on the other, were not gong to change that.
I was a member of a Union, Local 144 for ten years and was sandwhiched in between my black and hispanic co-workers and the White management who were trying to disnantle the unions. I tried to get along as much as I could but I found it best to be as much of an individual as I could.
It was pretty clear to me, though I might not have been able to put it this way at the time, that as a White man, I was pretty much on my own in NYC. And that is no place to feel like that.
Eventually the strain from the exposure, and the fact that there was such a huge gap between what hopes I had for the USA in general and NYC in particular, and what it actually had become, was so intense I found myself hanging on for dear life, and, long story short, got out.
I could not see myself coming back without a firearm and lots of cash.
What a wonderful blog! Please continue this great work I will be sure to check back regularly…
I simply wanted to add a comment here to say thanks for you very nice ideas. Blogs are troublesome to run and time consuming therefore I appreciate when I see well written material. Your time isn’t going to waste with your posts. Thanks so much and carry on You’ll defintely reach your goals! have a great day!
I believe incarceration is way up, and the right people are being put in jail, and getting caught for murder at least is getting to be a higher probability. A lot of resources have been thrown into crime prevention and control. Computerized recordkeeping, DNA, forensic innovations, cameras everywhere and such are impacting crime rates, as well as crack wars are much less frequent. It is complex to be sure, but it doesn’t disprove blacks don’t equal crime. Look at Haiti. That is the ultimate expression of negro government.
Look at Detroit – which is the US crime leader. Whites who believe that blacks are not criminally inclined should go live with them to prove us wrong.
